About Houzz

Houzz is the leading home renovation and design platform in the world. We have a highly engaged community of over 40 million unique monthly users who leverage our technologies to find inspiration for their next project, connect with over 2.1 million home design professionals and discover products in the Houzz Shop.

About the Role

Houzz is looking for a user-centric product designer to join our close-knit marketplace team. Houzz has grown into a top ecommerce destination in a few short years, but we’re just getting started. We strive to provide an easy, inspirational shopping experience for our users by seamlessly merging innovative technology and top-notch design.

We are looking for a cross-platform product designer with a growth mindset -- someone who wants to have an immediate impact on a great product. We are creative, curious, customer focused, passionate about solving problems. We iterate fast, design with data, and collaborate closely with multiple teams.

What You'll Do

Design scalable concepts -- We design for many platforms and content types. We drive design ideas from early business needs, through rough concepts, to final, pixel-perfect implementation.

Show attention to details on all levels -- Design doesn’t begin or end in Sketch. We are constantly brainstorming new ideas while optimizing our current designs.

Stay on brand, until you can’t -- We know how to work within a design system while recognizing opportunities to draw outside the lines and improve our design language.

Be a team player -- We don’t design in a bubble and everyone has a voice in our projects. In order to produce the best possible experience for our users all of our teams work together and provide feedback to each other. We collaborate with engineering, product, and data analytics teams to build the best user experience.

At a Minimum, We’d Like You to Have

An outstanding portfolio -- Strong design thinking skills with focus on user-centered solutions.

Experience designing for consumer-facing products

A deep understanding of the problem you're solving -- you create intuitive experiences while considering diverse business requirements and technical complexities

Excellent communication skills -- You can effectively communicate your design rationale both verbally and visually

An understanding of trends in product design -- including interaction patterns for web and mobile

Intelligence and self-motivation -- No specific domain expertise in ecommerce is required (although it’s a plus); we’re looking for smart, motivated, self-starters who can learn quickly
